So well, I'm a patriotic individual.

I know a lot of gals on here served for a bit.  Some even retired.  Seems like the chat is swarming with vets.

I think it's simply amazing to stand by your duty even in the face of such a villian as GID.  So, even though you peeps obviously didn't DIE, I think you came mighty close to it in the soul.

So therefore, I think today honors any of you as much as it does anyone else.  And I'm telling you that I'm grateful, and proud to be mixing oxygen with you.

And I know the song doesn't fit, but for me it's just the song that fits this day
